I have been readin through the library and can´t seem to find the right information I am looking for. What blue dot calipers or the gold ones will fit a non-ABS 1993? What bikes front brakes can be used? Also are all FJR clutch and brake master cylinders interchangeable with the later FJs? Thanks.
Blue/gold dots, yes they will bolt right up.
FJR master cylinder (m/c) will bolt right up however it is a 15mm m/c, just a hair under your existing 5/8" m/c.
For better brake modulation and feel I would recommend a 14mm m/c from a FZR or many other models which use a 14mm piston.
Hope this helps. Pat
Sorry, I missed the word "what" in your question.
I have the 2001 YZF R-1 calipers on my bikes. Going by memory, any blue or gold dot calipers will work as long as they are non-radial mount calipers. I recall Jon Cain mentioning that the latter years of the calipers have lighter weight pistons.
I don't recall the year the YZF R-1 went to radial mounted calipers, 2005?
The YZF-600 calipers will work. They have the external crossover line and are blue dots, as well.
did all yzf sixes run that external caliper line, looks like an eighties throw back
I used the m/c off an 03 fjr on my 92fj, it's 14mm and bolts right on, similar look to the coffin style m/c that was there.

Also in theme with 93fj1200s' question, if the clutch m/c on my 92 is 5/8 which is about 15mm does anyone know how a 14mm fjr clutch m/c would affect clutch performance? Or is there no such thing as a 14mm clutch m/c?
Andrew
I did the same... works well.

Hey Andrew, are you sure the your FJR brake m/c is 14mm?
/edit/ I looked up the part's listing and I see that the FJR changed m/c's starting in 2004 and I see your '03 m/c is shared with the FZ-1 so it very may well be a 14 mm... Good to know.
Hi Pat yes it's 14mm. I phoned Yamaha Canada and was told that the m/c was infact 14mm. Works beautifully
Cheers
Andrew
Now about that clutch m/c?
to answer you clutch mc , ooooh yes the 14 mm one makes for a lighter clutch , much nicer in traffic ,, shouldn't make much difference what one you use, most bikes use nissin ones , I used a zzr1100 one, although some bike wreckers don't know what a 5/8 14mm ect mc is, have had to educate a few
Usually but not always, the size is cast on the underside of the m/cylinder. A 14mm m/c will have the number "14" and imperial size m/c's will have a fraction cast on the body. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Pete.
FJR m/c is one mod i rate very highly. Did it on my 93 and what a fantastic difference. Have attached the original thread.
